Workout Playlist

So you’ve been listening closely and taking notes. You’ve got a good start on a great new workout. So what on earth are you doing watching TV on the gym floor and zoning out to your gym’s Top 40 and Euro Club Hits? You need something that’s going to keep you moving, focus you in on the task at hand, provide a little high energy motivation and in the name of all things good and holy, keep you off those Cybex machines!

Hint, if you were to risk getting kicked out of the gym because your music shattered the gym manager’s glass “4th Quarter Sales Leader” award, you’re on the right track. For what it's worth, here are my top album picks to start your own take-no-prisoners workout playlist.

1. Dropkick Murphys: Warrior’s Code. (Did you see The Departed? I mean, come on!)
2. Sex Pistols: Nevermind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols (Sometimes the classics just can't be beat)
   
3. Korn: Follow The Leader
4. Rage Against The Machine: Evil Empire (You thought this might not make the list?)
5. Ramones: Any album...Any album at all will do just fine.
6. Surf Report: Supersonic Salvation (It helps in visualizing the soothing waves and ocean breezes while you’re doubled over the trash can)
7. White Stripes: White Blood Cells. (You have to cherry pick off this one, but there ain't no way you're going to stop moving if you've got Jack screaming "Fell In Love With A Girl" in your ear.)

I’m always looking for more too. Post your playlists to comments.
